Season's Greetings from #ELVISKids! We hope you & your family were well over the holidays. Children often come down with a #cold when they restart school/nursery. We are back & eager to restart the study of #saltwater #nosedrops for the #commoncold (https://t.co/ipDE2Kp8nK).

[Dr Luke Daines @ljdaines]

Interesting study of 111 children (6-16yrs) referred to paeds with wheeze|cough|SOB

80 had #asthma (ref standard=expert opinion)

-reversibility testing low accuracy
-FeNO & challenge tests most useful tests

Using NICE only 4 would've been diagnosed w asthma at 1st study visit
